Chapter 16: Target Locked

"I have the most stamina right now, so I should take the front. I\'ll get its attention, and then one of you can deal a blow from a blind spot while it is distracted with me."

Mark added some of his own thoughts, and Tilda couldn\'t deny that it was the best course of action right now. Her stamina was almost completely gone, so Mark taking the frontline would help her to get some of it back. And since she was fast, she could rush in and attack the monster before rushing out again to make the monster confused!

Lightning Rider still had a look of distrust on his face as he stared at Mark. He could not tell who Mark was, and due to the fact that his voice was distorted by the mask he was wearing, Lightning Rider couldn\'t tell how old he was either. Lightning Rider was the sort of person who hated mysteries, and he liked to have all the facts about anyone that he was going to be trusting his back to. If this were a different situation, then Lightning Rider would have definitely refused help from Mark because he didn\'t trust him, but since Tilda was already onboard, then Lightning Rider had no choice but to silently accept Mark\'s help.

Rattaatatattaatata!

A loud sound suddenly came from above the three superhumans, and Mark looked up to see that there was a news helicopter hovering right over them! Are these people completely mad? Why would they bring something like that to the scene of a fight? The helicopter was quite high in the sky, but Mark knew that a constraint like that was nothing for them! In the middle of a fight, they could easily reach that helicopter with just a single leap!

Crack! Crack!

Boom!

Screeech!

Mark didn\'t have any time to start thinking about the stupidity of humans anymore as he was forced to focus back on the ant-headed Anima as it burst its way out from inside the building and released a loud screech that shook the ground under their feet for miles! Everything in the area felt the raw power from the Anima, and Mark prepared himself for the beating that he knew he was about to receive!

Mark has never fought against a Calamity class before! The strongest opponent he has ever had was a Disaster class, and that was nothing compared to this! Mark brought his fists up and dashed forward! He was going to try and catch the monster off guard so that Tilda and Lightning Rider would have a good chance to attack with a surprise attack!

Slam!

But before Mark could even go anywhere, everybody was shocked as the Calamity class moved first at a speed that was three times faster than what it was using when fighting against Tilda and Lightning Rider! The Calamity class completely ignored everybody else in the area and it slammed straight into Mark and dragged him along as the two of them flew through three skyscrapers and went deeper into the city!

"!"

Tilda\'s eyes were wide in shock, and she didn\'t even need to look to see that Lightning Rider was also shocked by what just happened! They have never seen an Anima act in this way before! The Anima were seen as mindless creatures whose only goal in life was to destroy as much of the world as possible while killing everyone and anyone that they could lay their hands on! There has never been a case where Anima just ignored everyone else and went straight for one person!

"We have to help him! I don\'t know what is going on, but there is no way he can survive against that monster on his own! If we don\'t go, then he\'ll die!"

Tilda shouted this to Lightning Rider as she snapped out of her surprise, and Lightning Rider nodded his head as he covered his body in lightning, and they both dashed towards the direction where the Calamity class dragged Mark!

Up in the sky, the news crew was also stunned as the helicopter followed after them! The journalist in the helicopter was a beautiful woman with red hair and green eyes. She had full red lips and a moderate bust that showed some cleavage through her shirt! She was holding a microphone and talking rapidly as the camera followed the destruction that the Calamity class was causing on the ground!

"This is something that I\'ve never seen before in my life! It looks like the Calamity class is no longer interested in any of the other superhumans, and it has only decided to focus on one of them! Reports I am getting from my analysts are saying that the superhuman the Calamity is focusing on is the Vigilante Superhuman GHOST! He is a superhuman who has been involved in many Disaster class subjugations, but we have never been able to get a good look at his fighting style before because of how elusive he is! But it seems like we will finally get a good look at it today!"

...

In the underground bunker below Nature Academy, all of the students were huddled together as they tried to calm their beating hearts! They could all hear the tremors and destruction that was happening above ground, and even though the fight was happening far away from them, they could tell that there was an insane amount of power being thrown around up there!

[The superhuman GHOST is trying his best to get the Calamity class off him, but the Calamity class has not given him any room to regroup with the other superhumans! At this rate, it looks like he is going to have to find a way out of the situation himself! The Superhumans Yellow Phantom and Lightning Rider are both chasing after the fighting pair, but it seems that no matter what they do, the Calamity class only continues to focus all of its attention on GHOST!]

There was a large television positioned above the ground where the news was playing, and everyone in the underground bunker stayed very silent as they watched the fight that was happening! Francis was watching the fight with wide eyes as he saw his idol being targeted by the Calamity class. Francis knew that GHOST was strong, but even Francis couldn\'t be sure that GHOST would make it out of a fight like this! A calamity class attack has never happened in this city before, so no one was sure what the outcome would be!

The only person who didn\'t look like she was interested in the fight at all was Arit! Arit was the only person on her feet, and she had been frantically looking around for Mark ever since she came into the bunker!
